WINTER WONDERS MARKS EVERY YEAR EVERYONE’S MINDS!
Through its 2-kilometers course deploying through our historic town centre, Winter Wonders in Brussels will once again be the topic of many a dream for children and adults alike. The festive atmosphere, unique ambiance, quality activities, delicious dishes, fairy-tale lighting and the discovery of other universes and cultures on offer during the event will nourish many a reverie…
Five weeks filled with enchanting encounters, perfumes, colorful stalls, fantastic gift ideas and original tasting sessions. Joy and lights sparkled, bathing visitors in the festive atmosphere embodying Winter Wonders.
Winter Wonders’ attractiveness is now legendary, making it a key event in Brussels during the festive season. This unmissable happening greatly contributes to make our capital city into a privileged city-trip destination.
The new, wider course seduced everyone and offered a greater fluidity as the ice-skating rink was moved to the Place de la Monnaie where it was very successful.
The magnificent fir tree, the splendid, magical and original light and sound show, the incredible ‘videomapping’ on the façade of the St Catherine church, the creative and original guest of honor, the festive Christmas Parade of RTL, … And also the traditional attractions: the Ferris wheel, the merry-go-rounds, the slalom, the Ice Monster…
